TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 20, 1910.

Application filed June 7, 1910. Serial No. 565,485.

- To all whom it my camera:

Be it known that I, PATRICK P. SULLIVAN,

a citizen of the United States residing at Rochester, in the county oflVIonroe and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the followin is a specification.

This invention re ates to tobacco pipes and the object of the inventionis the provision of a removable bottom to the pipe bowl which forms inconnection with a portion of the bowl, an absorbing receptacle in whicha suitable absorbing medium is contained together with means carried bythe removable bottom for causin the removal of the absorbing elementwith the bottom.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a pipe bowlhaving annularly arranged projections or an annular flange and aremovable tobacco supporting bottom carried thereon having a smokeaperture which is removed from the stem' of the pipe.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specificdescription is read in connection with the accompanying drawing whichforms a part of this application and in which:

Figure'l is a vertical longitudinal section through the pipe. Fi 2 is ahorizontal section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is asimilar section taken 011 the same line showing a modified form offlange.

Referring more particularly to the draw ing, 1 represents the bowl ofthe pipe, 2 the stummel and 3 the mouth piece.

The smoke aperture 4 leads into the bowl adjacent its bottom at one sidethereof. The bowl comprises a substantially cylindrical body 5 having acentral tobacco chamber .6 and an open lower end threaded as at 7 toreceive the absorbent container 7 8. Intermediate the length of thetobacco chamber there is secured a plurality of lugs 9 arrangedannularly around the bowl and supported upon these lugs is a falsebottom 10 aving a smoke aperture 11 which is arranged upon the oppositeside of the bottle from the entrance of the smoke channel 4 'nto' thebowl. This false bottom together with the walls of the bowl 1 and thewallsand bottom of the receptacle 8 form an ab by the removable bottomsorbent receiving chamber 12 in which a suitable absorbent is placed.

In order to cause the removal of theabsorbing medium 13 with thereceptacle when said receptacle is disconnected from the bowl, there isprovided an annular series of pro'ections 14 which enter the absorbin meium and act to pull it out of the bowl when the receptacle is removed.It will therefore be seen that the absorbent medium does not have to bepicked out of the bowl and projects sutliciently far above the upper endof the receptacle to be withdrawn therefrom after the receptacle hasbeen removed from the bowl. It will also be seen that as the aperture 11is arranged adjacent the forward side of the bowl, the smoke must passentirely through the absorbent. material to get to the aperture 4 in thestem which enters the rear side of the bowl. The terms forward side andrear side of the bowl will be used in the claims with the definitionabove given.

Havin thus described the invention, what is claime ,is-

1. A pipe comprising a bowl, a stem carried thereby, a removable bottomon the bowl independentof the stem, a false bottom removably held in thebowl above the stem and forming with the bowl a smoke chamber, anabsorbent material mounted in the removable bottom, and means carried bythe removable bottom for removing the absorbent material when saidbottom is removed from the bowl.

2. A pipe comprisinga bowl, a bottom removably secured thereto, anapertured false bottom removably secured in the bowl, the aperture inthe bottom being arranged adjacent the front side of'the bowl, anapertured stem connected to the rear side of the bowl, an absorbentmaterial arranged between the false bottom and the removable bottom, anda series of pro'ections carried or causing the retention of theabsorbent material when the bottomis removed.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
